The purpose of this thread is to point out that we all accept some traditions. None of us go by the Bible alone.

This thread may seem like a trap if you are a person who claims that you don’t accept any “traditions,” just the Bible.

I know that this is an old thread, but I just posted a list of many extra-Biblical traditions that Protestants follow, on my blog here

Happy confirmation duffyk4 is online now welcome back to the home! Thanks Brad cause my older brother died due to crib death. I actually had a catholic tell me the official teaching of the church was unsure of where infants go when they died. This made me sad but I knew that it must be wrong somehow! The traditions of all churches like reading bible, Sunday classes, dress code, baptism, communion, sinners prayer, etc are in all their own ways traditions and needed in christianity as sacraments meaning holy mysteries of inner and outward faith. This is the problem with protestants is they have a water downed prroduct they are selling to people that has thoroughly confused them cause of those protestants. Thank you protestants foer confusing me for twenty-four years gotta love it. However, how much of is it cultural or religious insitutution? I wonder cause you look at the slave trade even protestants were divided back then with norther baptists and southern baptist hinging away from one another.

Are there extra-biblical Church traditions that Protestants will accept? Can even one be found?

In order to determine this fairly, we must evaluate each doctrine that is proposed as a candidate according to several criteria:

a) The doctrine in question is accepted by the Protestants to whom one is speaking
b) The doctrine is not stated in Scripture
c) The doctrine is not implied by Scripture
d) The doctrine has an extrabiblical history to which one can appeal as an alternative, extrascriptural basis

The following doctrines are proposed as those which meet all of the criteria above and are agreed to be binding upon the consciences of all believers:
  1. The canon of the New Testament
  2. Public revelation has ended
  3. There are to be no more Apostles
If any one of these three doctrines meet the criteria above, then it has been proven that Protestants have accepted teaching that has come by a source other the Bible Alone; thus, sola scriptura is false.

Thoughts and comments, please. :tiphat:

Randy,
What would you consider the 7 early councils, and the three creeds? Lutherans accept both of these.

Sunday is not the Sabbath. That is something fundamentalists and Catholics agree on…

Happy to help then

The Sabbath is always Saturday. Sunday is the Lords Day
2175 Sunday is expressly distinguished from the sabbath which it follows chronologically every week; for Christians its ceremonial observance replaces that of the sabbath. In Christ’s Passover, Sunday fulfills the spiritual truth of the Jewish sabbath and announces man’s eternal rest in God. For worship under the Law prepared for the mystery of Christ, and what was done there prefigured some aspects of Christ:107
